Very good

Hotel was in a good location. We walked close to 20,000 steps a day . Homeless people on the sidewalk some trash . It's typical of a big city . We had a great time always felt safe
It was worth the price! Our room was huge and clean. We did not experience any noise issues like some have mentioned. We loved the amenities and softness of the beds. We’d book again!

The area around the Arco was interesting - there was a lot of people loitering around and yelling at all hours of the day. The parking lot across the street costs $38 per day, not $25. The location of extra essentials weren’t clear (2nd floor lounge cabinets). But the location was close to the Subway & right in between big parts of Philly. Our room was pretty clean and decorated nicely.
Upscale hostel that needs some updating. Bathrooms nice size. Beds comfortable but exposed ceiling outside our room with pipes and wires. AC turned off when we left the room so came back ti HOT room. They did have a fan . Would book again but knowing I need to Ice, drinks and snacks plus a few other amenities. Are outside had alot of lingering people all night

Clean, comfortable room. Great location. Would stay here again
Stay was great, a few small items would have made it even better: coffee stirrers, tea, throw blanket and pillows for the couch.

The refrigerator had a loud knocking sound that would randomly go on and off to the point where it will wake you up and a startling manner or it was hard to fall asleep because of the sound
Booked this location for 1 night as me and my daughter had tickets to see The Weeknd in PA. Upon arrival keycode to enter the facility did not work. They was no one working on site so I had to go back and forth with someone through text for over a hr with no solution. Was forced to have to book a room in another hotel. Please save your money. Not to mention they charge an addition fee of $150 which “drops” when Expedia pays the hotel. Absolutely ridiculous!!
Interior of the hotel is very clean and well-kept. Area could be quite loud at night until around 2-3 AM, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. No staff on site and responses via email were hit-and-miss. During a four night visit, the elevator broke and was down for the rest of the stay and I received an email warning that some units were having AC problems (mine was fine).
The place itself is nice and clean but my room was delayed which was really frustrating considering the price and how tired I was after flying in. Additionally, my key code didn’t work when I got there and it took a while for a support staff to get it to work. I had to wait outside while they activated the code and it was super hot. The hotel app says that your entry code should work hours before check-in but this was not the case. Overall a frustrating experience for me.

Decent place to stay. You absolutely will need to use ear plugs or similar if you want to sleep at night.

The elevator is not working so we had to walk up/down to/from the third floor every time we went out
Rcvd an email the day before check-in, cancelling our reservation that we had for months because of some HVAC issue at the hotel. No alternative offered. Not even alternative Marriott options. Had to scramble to make arrangements. Frustrating.
Sonder changed my hotel location after I arrived at to the hotel and had paid for parking. They only sent an email that went to junk and did not call to notify me. Apparently it was a maintenance emergency, but I should have been notified earlier and by phone. Long wait time on hold for customer service. Once we finally were able to talk to someone and get to the new hotel the room was nice, but I was already irritated by the whole situation. Unprofessional.

Unable to speak to a human after 5 attempts. Room was 87 degrees w/ temp turned down to 65, outside was 84; bad night's rest.
On the bright side, Hannah a concierge? who I fortunately happened to run into, procured a missing remote for my TV & went through the entire programming process. She deserves 5 Stars!
